Psvr starship troopers teaser

I am really interested in what this could be.

I'd even go so far to think a VR conversion of HD2. Not expecting it but it makes sense considering it'd garner attention and PSVR2 is compatible with PCVR.

Console release date for ST: Extermination with VR support.
Could be, that was my first assumption, but there are a few reasons to doubt that. 1. Starship Troopers is published by Offworld Industries (Sony Tristar is doing the licensing but aren't producing) and there not a lot of reasons why Sony Pictures VR would need to involve itself in publishing or promoting if Offworld wanted to add a VR mode to its existing upcoming game. 2. ST Extermination is a multiplayer FPS, and those rarely get VR options. 3. ST Extermination runs on UE5, which can wirk in VR but is still hard to cut down to this spec, especially in a full-scale 16p enemy-filled battle game like this.



Still, maybe? Or maybe its that, but different? Like i could see if Sony Pictures VR (which is not a high-budget studio as Sony Corp studios go, ala this very video,) employed Offworldto do a separate minigame or demo level or something, similar to EA's SW BF Rogue One VR, where they could reuse some assets but make a cost-effective new product to co-promote?

Please be PSVR 2 support for HD2. The game has so many mechanics that would work perfect in VR.

Helldivers 2 VR would have been cool, but I don't think Sony Pictures VR would be involved if it was HD 2 VR integration? Sony Pictures VR is its own small unit, it's not a PlayStation studio. Sony VR did the Ghostbusters game and the Spider-Man Homecoming VR experience and some Meta Quest game.

If this was Helldivers VR, it would most likely have been posted/hosted by Sony Interactive Entertainment... also, they would have made sure that Casper Van Dien had a better AV system than a freaking webcam to make a commecial.

Co-promoting to a pretty niche market though, Extermination has been only moderately successful, it makes sense to add more features like VR to that game and use Casper to try and pull in more players. Being an FPS horde game it would suit VR perfectly.
However it could totally be HD2 related. I forgot that Casper became an unofficial spokesman for that game and "troopers" could mean either.
I'm keeping my bet on VR Extermination.
